KSEB officials say the water level needed to be kept at a safe limit in view of IMD’s predictions of heavy rainfall
The water level in the Idukki dam began to decline slowly on Wednesday following the opening of three shutters of the Cheruthoni dam by 0.34 metres on Tuesday.
Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) authorities said that in the wake of continued high volume of inflow, the water in the reservoir was kept at a controlled level to prevent further increase. In view of the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) predictions of heavy rainfall, the water level needed to be kept at a safe limit, they said.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
